"Voodoo Chile" (Part 1) - Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood (Hollywood Bowl 6/30/09)

[Kommando786]

is this half step down or full step or what? im confused!?!

[Hektor88]

@Kommando786 full step. he i playing in the E position, but the key is D minor.

[oly747]

the drummer is from PAUL MACA of BEATLES fame and its in D but Eric tuned down to d so he plays in E band in D like Hendrix original, wish this drummer was on CROSSROADS vids awsome ,Mitch,s drums fantastic on LADYLAND

[tdkdgh]

Thanks for posting this. I just heard the album version the other night and almost died. The Hendrix/Winwood version off ELL is one of my all time favorite pieces of music.

[gfgregori]

Great Eric is my Guitar Hero !

I have a t-shirt Clapton is God , and the people look and dont understand what this means because im my country the people dont know the God British Patrick Clapton.

If you wanna a channel with the best videos of clapton and others bands click on my picture you will acess my channel , and you can see they videos.

[CORAC777]

[GuitarMaster6567]

lol isnt that mccartneys drummer?

[VeniceKing1]

@GuitarMaster6567 Yes, session musician type drummer. Played with lots of well known names.

[cgabler91191]

Mesmerizing performance!

I like this as much as the original on Hendrix's "Electric Ladyland". Very bluesy.

[zzllen]

I am a fan of Clapton sinds the 60 ,but heard this song the first time at the concert at the Gelredome on 29-05-2010 ,And i cant get enough of the song.Now i am glad theres U-tube and find a lot more of his music .

[cyroluzindo]

Clapton is God!!!!!

[raybede]

EC far away in the zone here. Winwood, as ever , brilliant.

R.

[jonbdan]

Can anyone tell me who the drummer is in this video?

thanks

[evanguy]

@jonbdan Abe Laboriel, Jr.

[squ51]

@evanguy thats the guy whos at the time playing with paul mccartney, right?

[irondayburajunior]

@evanguy,so the drummer is the one who play with Paul Mccartney?

And when that happened?

sorry for the bad English

[senseitim328]

@jonbdan - great drummer.  he plays drums for Paul McCartney. Not sure if he still does but he did for a long time. You can see him on the last couple of dvd's Macca did.

[mtsn]

@senseitim328 yes he's still with Paul, he played in Brazil a couple weeks ago. A fantastic drummer.

[raptoresque]

@jonbdan me

[raybede]

@jonbdan I was really impressed by this guy. Brilliant is'nt he It's the first time I'd seen Abe!!

[Otacon55]

I have this whole concert in glorious HD. ;)

[cgabler91191]

This is Voodoo Chile - great version by E.C.

also check out  his version of Little Wing

[fridogg]

just shows you so far ahead of his time Jimi was. Clapton is a schooled blues player. Jimi was from another universe.

[joiglans]

just can say: voodoo chile!!!!

[matthewjackson81]

I love this but think the version at madison Sq gardens is better, I also saw them play at birmingham this year and it was quite possibly the best thing i've ever heard!!!

[owenswift]

enjoyable. they seem to enjoy playing it. clapton demonstrates his limitations here not a very intense player, more stylized and melodic. this solo sounds alot like many of his others.

[elshaub]

@owenswift

limitations... not intense player...

bullshit!

you got no music sensibility, taste and knowledge

watch this and you'll realize that clapton is trully a "intense" player

[frazier143]

Eric Clapton's beast at guitar

[jspecs13]

i was there. mindblowing is an understatement.

[OMERTA011]

is this voodoo chile (slight return) or voodoo child?

'cause I cant find tabs for this one nowhere..

[evanguy]

@OMERTA011

It's actually called "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)." With a "d." And no, this isn't the same song. "(Slight Return)" is much shorter and is pretty distinctive because Hendrix used the wah-wah pedal. You can find videos of Stevie Ray Vaughan playing it on this site.

[OMERTA011]

@evanguy so that's what I thought.. Im searching for the first version...

thanks

[timothyfloogle]

@evanguy i believe the pedal was called the Crybaby pedal.

[evanguy]

@timothyfloogle That's a brand name.

[charlemagne00]

just voodoo chile, not slight return@OMERTA011 

[charlemagne00]

Its called voodoo chile with an "e", its off of electric lady land. Voodoo child (slight return) is off electric lady land also. @OMERTA011

[fretman40]

@OMERTA011 This is Voodoo chile not voodoo child(slight Return)

[toadfrogblues]

@OMERTA011 Send me a message. I believe I have the tab. It's in PDF though

[andreimihai08]

yeeeah....thats what I'm talking abount....Love Clapton :>:>:>:D:D....nice one evanguy :>

[The13key]

woooow cooll that's veryyyy greaaat =D

[guitarlover891]

yesterday, concert eric clapton & steve winwood, they played this.

I never felt happier before!

[boxcrsoup]

Amazing Clapton was god winwood was king, first time I've been to the lg was really impressed by the venue. To be fair though it couldve been a bedsit in the rougher part of rough claptons sound wouldve made it the ritz.

[majorbalna]

his drummer also plays with macca...lol

[ciclosonico]

That's great!!!! Where did you take this video, I can't find it anywhere!!!! THX for sharing it, I love EC

[evanguy]

@ciclosonico

I filmed it myself at the concert. The screen you see was one of the big video monitors.

[Mrmaniac15765]

does clapton play this song with his strings tuned a full step down, because i know that he plays it in the key of D but hes plaing it as if it were in the key of E position?

[Hektor88]

yup

[qwertyuiop0909jj]

Even the crowd come in at the right times!!!!!!!

[Ge4ce100]

magic day today , got the tickets for his concert on may 23 and ordered my fender stratocaster 2 dreams one day.

Love this song I've listened to the original track a million times , great too see this song live and even greater to see it with these 2 legends.

[jojothepojo]

always was fan of Jimi, always was fan of Stevie and always was fan of Eric... so this is super!!!!!!!!!!

[bluesboy25000]

I was there

[smellygonorrhea420]

excellent. it's great to see this song in a distinctive clapton sound. much "cleaner" than the original (and i don't mean that in a negative way to either jimi or clapton)

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@smellygonorrhea420 clapton is not as flamboyant as jimi was, but i do believe he plays cleaner

[ricky6565]

Clapton plays it as well as I thought he would. Would like to see him have a go at slight return lol

[mevans2592]

Love the Hendrix tone. Just like the original Voodoo Chile

[drockadam6]

Great Filming!

[yesmon4real]

Fantastic post, Thank you !

[Geeklady]

Love the Clapton!
